Delivered to Western & Northern Suburbs of Wellington City

By Caroline Brown, Massey journalism student

Khandallah residents oppos-ing cuts to their library hours at a special meeting last week found plenty of support from the councillors attending.

More than 40 residents at-tending the Khandallah Town Hall meeting overwhelmingly rejected weekday morning closures – from 10am to 1pm - as proposed in Wellington City Council’s 2013 draft budget.

All the residents voted against the proposal - and councillors present said they would be voting against it too.

Onslow-Western ward Coun-cillor John Morrison, who chaired the meeting, said everyone was on the same wavelength.

“The policy is clearly unac-ceptable.”

He expected the proposal would be voted down and would be “sad and horrifi ed” if it passed.

It was important for residents to demonstrate support of the library.

“[But] ultimately, it’s the councillors, not library offi cers who will make the decision.”

Community facilities’ portfo-lio leader Cr Justin Lester said he would also be voting against the policy.

“It would be very silly not to maintain the hours.”

However, Mayor Celia-Wade Brown and Onslow-Western Ward Cr Andy Foster, who both arrived as the meeting was wrapping up, would not reveal how they would be voting.

Mayor Wade-Brown, how-ever, said she had come to show her support to the library and she was sympathetic to the cause.

Local resident Dermot Byrne said reductions to opening hours would be self-destruc-tive.

“[It would be like] setting fi re

to the library, by pouring petrol on it and letting someone else set it alight.”

Cr Lester told the residents the council had instructed Wel-lington City Libraries to reduce spending and closing Khandal-lah library on weekday mornings was an option broached by the libraries to save $31,000 each year.

Cost saving measures were necessary as the Wellington City Libraries annual budget of $20 million had been decreasing since the recession, with the mobile library already being closed, he said.

An option to find the extra money, instead of cutting spend-ing from the budget, was for rates to increase by 4 cents per person

per year.Libraries Manager John Steer

said the plan originally included weekday morning closure of the majority of residential libraries but eventually only Khandallah library remained a candidate for weekday-morning closures.

The reason for this was, com-pared to close neighbours, John-sonville and Cummings Park Libraries, Khandallah Library was not performing, Mr Steer says.

Local residents, however, took issue with the library statistics provided saying that, when square footage was taken into account, Khandallah far out-performed its larger neighbours in terms of withdrawals and visi-tors.Submissions close on May 16.

Khandallah residents oppose cuts

By Dani McDonaldWellington City councillor

Helene Ritchie has refuted councillor Justin Lester’s com-ments about Keith Spry being a “blow out”, saying yesterday that the upgrade will begin “in a short matter of time”.

“There still is some minor tidying up in terms of the negotiations to be completed,” Ms Ritchie says.

Last week the Independent Herald reported on the delay of the Keith Spry Pool upgrade.

Delays comprised of the contractor going into receiver- ship, a budgeting shortfall, a

rusting roof and the closure of a nearby pool.

Mr Lester criticised council for not informing the public of timeframes and plans.

Ms Ritchie says it would be disastrous if comments, such as Mr Lester’s, affect the project.

“Talk of any “blowout” is wrong, negative and extremely unfortunate as it could put the whole project and funding in jeopardy,” Ms Ritchie says.

She says council is at the fi nal point of negotiations with its preferred contractor, and that nothing is being held secret.

“They are very delicate dis-cussions. When there’s nothing to say to the public, then there isn’t anything to say until they are complete,” Ms Ritchie says.

Once negotiations are com-pleted, Ms Ritchie says the community will be fully in-formed with full pictures, hopefully an information stand in the mall, notifications of neighbours, and progress re-ports.

“Johnsonville and Northern will have a pool to be proud of for many years to come.”

WESTPAC CEO NAMED

KARORI BANK OPENEDANZ reopened its Karori branch after extensive earthquake strengthening work on Monday. The new branch – formerly National Bank – will have extended opening hours so it is more convenient for the Karori community, many of which work in the CBD. It will now be open on Saturdays from 10am to 2pm and until 6.30pm on Thursdays.The branch has been closed since July after a seismic test revealed the site didn’t meet ANZ safety guidelines.Customers have been using other branches at Victoria University, on The Terrace and in Johnsonville while the Karori branch has been closed.

A person has died at the scene of a two car crash near the Grenada North, Wellington motorway exit on Monday.

The motorist travelling on Takapu Road lost control and hit a parked vehicle.

The passenger was trapped in the car and received serious injuries.

Motorists wanting to use the Grenada North exit were advised to use the Tawa exit of the motorway.

The driver of the parked car was sitting in

their vehicle when the moving car collided, but received no injuries and provided police with evidence.

Meanwhile, on Friday evening police were called out to four crashes around Johnson-ville.

Three people were injured after a crash on SH1 southbound lane of the motorway, near the Johnsonville exit at 5:40pm.

All were taken to hospital with one seriously injured.

Traffi c was diverted off the Churton Park off ramp, along Middleton Rd and through Johnsonville.

It was one of four accidents between the Johnsonville and Churton Park onramps that cause signifi cant traffi c delays for northbound commuter traffi c.

Police are once again reminding motorists to keep their speed down, especially with wet weather conditions, put their lights on and check their following distances.

Computer classes for older peopleBy Dani McDonald

Computer classes committed to providing older people with basic training will be established in the northern suburbs.

The North Wellington SeniorNet opening ceremony will take place on Wednesday May 22 at 10:30am at the Learning Centre in the Ma-sonic Hall in Phillip St, introducing people to tutorials on offer such as how to use: Trade Me, Facebook, Picasso and Skype, as well as smart phones and iPhones.

SeniorNet is a community training network that supports and motivates people aged 50 plus to enjoy and use technology in their everyday life.

“Suddenly cell phones became smart phones, and lap tops became iPads, and suddenly there is a range of very high sophisticated gear,” Johnsonville Community centre and SeniorNet chairman Eric Bat-ten says.

SeniorNet was fi rst established in Wellington in 1992, expanding to Upper Hutt, Lower Hutt, Porirua and Wellington, but not reaching the Northern suburbs until now.

“We felt it was something missing here,” Mr Batten says.

With over 50 people showing up to a meeting on establishing SeniorNet in the area, Mr Batten expects there to be around 100 people plus attend-

SeniorNet coordinator Eric Batten has helped begin North Wellington SeniorNet classes, beginning in June.

Dear Sir,Are we the only ones who

have noticed the sudden ap-pearances of our local City Councillors in the Independ-ent Herald? Helene Ritchie, a largely invisible Northern Ward City councillor, in a recent Independent Herald is-sue has advertisements show-ing two lovely photos of her placed in separate sections of the paper looking very glamorous.

In the 1 May issue we see a front page photo of Justin

Lester making a big noise regarding the Keith Spry Pool upgrade. Where has he been over the last two and bit years?

Our third councillor, name forgotten, is retiring, another largely invisible councillor.

Oops, just remembered, it’s local body election year, hence the sudden activity. When are the northern sub-urbs going to get decent repre-sentation? We need a change.

John Jones and Murray Gray, Johnsonville.

Council Appearances

By Dani McDonaldIndependent candidate

Nicola Young is ready to rark up the Wellington City Council.

She will be standing for the Lambton ward this October when the Wellington City Council election begins.

The Lambton ward covers central, Thorndon, Te Aro, Kelburn, Pipitea, Oriental Bay, Highbury, Brooklyn, Mount Victoria, Mount Cook and Aro Valley.

“It’s losing its fi zz,” she says of Wellington city.

“It used to be a real sparkly city and it’s not anymore.”

She says job losses and businesses moving to Auck-land, such as Icebreaker, contribute to Wellington’s loss of “mojo”, she says.

“And then we have got a council just sitting on

their hands. We have got a dysfunctional council and too many of them have been there too long,” Ms Young says.

Ideas that Ms Young would like to bring to WCC if she were elected would be placing term limits for councillors, of up to four terms maximum.

“I think we need some fresh talent,” she says.

Ms Young grew up in Wellington attending St Mary’s Primary School in Thorndon; she became head girl at Erskine College in Island Bay and then studied news journalism at Wel-lington Polytechnic.

She started her career as a journalist writing for the Evening Post, before setting off to the United Kingdom and working at Lloyd’s of

London Insurance for 18 years.

She came back to Welling-ton and stood for National in Rongotai in 2005.

Her father, Bill Young, represented the Miramar electorate for National from 1966 to 1981.

Ms Young is the great granddaughter of Welling-ton Mayor Sir John Luke who stood from 1913 to 1921.

“I grew up in a political family. I have been doing campaigns since I was seven.”

She says Wellington needs small streets lit up at night with LED lighting, particu-larly lanes.

Melbourne has similar fea-tures which are now a tourist attraction for international artists who paint graffiti

down well-lit lanes, she says.“Wellington at night time

is pretty unappealing.”Another small idea she has

is placing street numbers on buildings.

“People wouldn’t get lost. It makes the city more liv-able.”

She would also like to see a National Art Gallery and a proper international airport – to encourage businesses to stay in town.

“I’m very good at mak-ing decisions. I’m hard-working.”

“I want to make Welling-ton New Zealand’s beating heart.” Photo Above:Nicola Young is running as an independent candidate for the Lambton ward.

By Dani McDonaldChurton Park’s Mi-

chelle Too, 17, will be representing the Ohariu electorate for the Youth Parliament.

Youth Parliament takes place every three years and was established in 1994 after the voting age was dropped to 18. It was originally held as an education day for selected youth, but due to the suc-cess a Youth Parliament now takes place every three years.

Michelle, a year 13 stu-dent of Queen Margaret

College, will make up 121 Youth MPs and 10 Youth Press Gallery on July 16 and 17 to experience politics fi rst hand.

She was selected by Ohariu MP Peter Dunne, who says she was an “ab-solute standout”.

“A bright and capable young woman with a very strong social conscience that comes through in her interest in the issue of equality of opportunity – which is very much something I share with her,” Mr Dunne says.

“It’s been cool grow-

ing up and seeing [Mr Dunne] and now I get to work alongside him,” Michelle says.

She has a keen interest in the political realm, after participating at the Model United Nations.

“That sor t of k ick started my whole inter-est in the political side of things.”

She says for the next fi ve years, Ohariu needs to consider future leaders.

“The future of New Zealand lies in young people’s hands and we need to start from a young

age and develop leadership.”She says leadership does not

just mean becoming a Prime Minister.

“We’re talking things like a stay at home father or someone on the sports fi eld.

“It’s people in the community stepping up.”

She believes a community producing leadership brings people together and makes the community work better as a unit.

“When people are a part of something they achieve more and the community is just so much better.”

Michelle says she was ecstatic to be chosen.

“It’s going to be a really good experience to learn from and especially immersing myself into this situation.”

Mr Dunne says Michelle was an “absolute stand-out”.

Queen Margaret’s year 13 student Michelle Too, 17, of Churton Park, was selected as the youth MP for Ohariu.

Absolute Standout...

“a bright and capable young woman”

By Dani McDonaldA Kindercare is underway

in Karori.Situated at 31 Curtis St,

the Kindercare building is expected to be opened in September.

Construction began at the end of 2012, and will be li-censed to enrol 100 children once suitably established.

Kindercare spokesperson Barbs Tozer says the site was well suited in terms of size, level ground and proximity to other centres.

“This was a new suburb which enabled us to extend our service to a new Wel-lington community where

we believe we can support parents and families with their care and education needs for their young chil-dren,” Ms Tozer says.

Kindercare is an early childhood centre providing services for babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers.

It has centres in Johnson-ville, Tawa, Aotea, Kil-birnie, Boulcott and Upper Hutt, as well as centres in Christchurch, Hamilton and Auckland.

The centre will have an outdoor play area, f ive rooms, with an early child-hood centre.

Above the early childhood

centre there will be a local area office to support all Wellington centres, as well as a two bedroom apartment to provide accommodation for out of town staff mem-bers while in Wellington.

Ms Tozer says Kindercare will provide Karori with “outstanding” early child-hood care and education.

“We are committed to pro-viding parents with peace of mind when they entrust their little one to us - know-ing that we will keep them safe, love them, and that they'll be having fun and learning.”

There are a number of reasons as to why buying local products, and from local businesses can have a positive impact on the community you live in.

Economically, choosing to buy products from local businesses means your money is more likely to stay within the area you live.

Through supporting your local busi-ness men or women, your money acts to strengthen their business, which in turn has a domino effect on the community.

As a business grows, it needs more resources, namely staff, who will not only personally benefi t from the fact that your money provides them with a source of income, but those staff members will be

spending that money locally.Local businesses are the ones who are

likely to provide sponsorship for your local schools, sports teams, or charity organisations, so by supporting your local businesses, you are ensuring that they can support those who need it most in your town.

Local businesses also have a responsibil-ity to stand behind their products; there is no middle man between the owner and the customer.

Knowing who is behind the business you are buying from, can provide you with assurance that you are receiving nothing but the best in quality and service.

Keep it Local

New childcare centre for Grenada

Leaps and Bounds Grenada centre manager Cheryl Palmer with pupil Sebastian Overton, 3.

A new childcare centre in Grenada is offering a warm, inviting space for children, with plenty of spaces still available.

Leaps and Bounds Early Learning Centre has just opened on Grenada Drive, with the capacity for 85 children.

It is one of eight Leaps and Bounds centres throughout New Zealand.

Centre manager Cheryl Palmer says it offers a “caring and fun”

environment for children.“Teachers are focused on mak-

ing sure every child has a place in the centre.”

She says it operates under the primary care system, with each child assigned a key teacher to attend to their needs.

Its targeted staffi ng rations are 1:4 for Under twos and 1:8 for over twos.

The purpose-built facility has a strong emphasis on the natural

environment, with native plants, walkways and waterfalls in its large playground, and natural materials used in classroom furniture.

Cheryl says parents are wel-come to drop into the centre anytime for a look around.

A welcoming sign for the suburb is also being arranged with the choice of location still under negotiations.

He started dancing at 18 with the Touch Compass Dance Company, a professional integrated dance group for people with and without dis-abilities based in Auckland and is the umbrella organisation of WIDance, which holds workshops in Wellington.

While he performs contemporary dancing in WIDance, he also has

a keen interest in hip hop dancing.“I like any kind of hip hop. It’s quite

upbeat, contemporary dancing – it’s kind of a bit slow.

“I love the beat,” he says.He says his goal is to get involved

with Auckland-based hip hop dance group Hopskotch.

Duncan also has a passion for music and drama at his former high school Onslow College, and played the drums in a band, Mr Handsome,

with his father Ian.Term 2 classes for WIDance begin

May 18 for a six week course, exclud-ing Queens Birthday weekend.

Group tutor Sumara Fraser says the group is open to everyone.

“Any disability or any ability,” she says.

By Lydia AndersonWellington women are

being urged to get decked out in a red dress, nail polish, or lipstick this month to raise awareness of heart disease – the single biggest killer of women in NZ.

The Heart Foundation is running “Go Red for Women” month to encourage Kiwi women to get a heart check.

Statistics show 48 women in NZ die of heart disease every week,

and two-thirds of deaths occur in in women with no history of chest pain.

To help spread the Heart Foundation's mes-sage, a number of New Zealand celebrities have volunteered to 'Go Red' this month.

Crowd Goes Wild pre-senter Meghan Mutrie, based in Wellington, is one of four female ce-lebrities who have come on board, taking part in a promotional video painting topless male

volunteers.She says she had no

idea what she was in for until she saw the male canvases.

“The whole point was to make us blush.

“I instantly clammed up – I was blushing madly.”

While she says she was not hugely aware heart disease was such a problem for women be-fore participating in the campaign, she has now started making changes

in her own life.“It's made me a bit

more concious about my choices.

“I've found myself geeking out and googling stats.

“I've booked my own doctors appointment.”

She says often women are so busy looking after families, they don't take time to look after them-selves.

“I thought of people like my mum and others who are such caregivers

By Dani McDonald]Johnsonville’s Kindercare

celebrated its fi rst birthday on Tuesday.

To celebrate, children and teachers dressed up as their favourite hero or character and had a shared cake.

Wellington area manager Petrea Medland says despite the year flying by, it has been amazing.

“Like a rocket – it’s been full on.

“The fi rst year surpassed all of our expectations,” Ms Medland says

The popularity of the cen-tre is evident, with a waiting list of fi ve to six months for children.

“We feel very sad because we know we haven’t got a place,” centre director Paula Martin says.

Ms Medland says the cen-tre, which is licensed to hold 100 children maximum, has become so attractive with parents because of the centre’s model.

The building has fi ve dif-ferent classrooms and caters for babies, toddlers and

pre-schoolers.“We pride ourselves on

being age appropriate. We have a home-away-from-home atmosphere,” Ms Medland says.

The children receive a cooked meal each day, which is an advantage,” Ms Martin says.

“I think that’s quite attrac-tive to working parents.”

The centre opened this time last year with 30 children, and increased each week to allow teachers to work with pupils individually.

Johnsonville Kindercare has 16 full time teachers, a full time cook, a full time administrator and relieving teachers.

Both Ms Medland and Ms Martin say the centre will carry on with the same focus as before.

“Parents want to know their child is being loved and nurtured and cared for and that learning is being provided to set them up for their life,” Ms Medland says.

and so selfl ess.“People put it aside

and if you do that it actually gets worse.

“It really struck a chord with me.”

She says getting a heart check doesn't need to be a big deal,

just something to re-member when visiting the doctor.

Heart Foundation Statistics:

Three out of four women still don't know heart disease is their single biggesst killer

- Internationally 3.4 milliion women die of heart disease every year.

- Studies have shown many women are un-likey to call 111 when they are showing signs of a heart attack.

studentBus users can be

forgiven if they are confused by signs for elderly and disable seating in Wellington.

Signs state the four seats at the front are for the elderly, disa-bled and those with young children, but Metlink’s website advises that it is fi rst come, fi rst served.

Bus drivers have received several com-ments on the con-fusing signage says

a spokesperson for Greater Wellington Regional Council.

“Bus drivers are aware that the area is designed to give priority to passengers with special needs,” she says.

However, the spokes-person says they are not authorised to make passengers va-cate a seat for others.

She says the confu-sion among passen-gers is unfortunate and she would like to see the same kind of signage as the newer

GO Wel l ington’s buses in the future.

“The newer buses have signs that read: “Pr ior ity Seating Area. Please vacate these seats for elderly, disabled passengers or parents with small children.”

Retired resident Tommy Harr thinks it is a good idea: “It cre-ates a better service.”

Although the signs have been confusing for passengers Metlink has not received any specifi c complaints on the topic.

Bu s p a s s e n g e r Amanda Jones be-lieves priority seating is a great idea as long as pregnant women are included.

“I would hope I wouldn’t sit in the seats to begin with but if I did I would most likely give it up.”

Another passenger Nicole Lay was not so sure.

“I’ll sit there if there’s no one there. If a disabled [person] came on I would stand up maybe.”A bus passenger occupies the priority

seats on a Wellington bus.

By Dani McDonaldThe Wellington North Commu-

nity Patrol Community Patrol is looking for more volunteers.

The patrol has had a presence in the northern suburbs since 2007, and work alongside police to prevent and report any suspicious activity or crime.

Coordinator Jacqueline Bligh says there are not enough people to monitor the streets.

“We’ve got about 20 but they’re not all active patrollers,” Ms Bligh says.

Volunteers patrol the streets reporting any suspicious activity, such as suspicious car registrations, tagging, and broken street lights to authorities on the beat.

They would need to have a full driver’s license and must be able to pass a police check.

Training takes approximately three months.

The northern patrol is one of fi ve in Wellington – Tawa, Karori, Wellington North, Eastern Rocks and Wellington South.

Ms Bligh says people who vol-unteer their time care about their community.

“People based in their community know their community; they know what’s out of place,” she says.

Volunteers are asked to contribute four hours a month.

For more information contact Ms Bligh on 022 478 3200 or email [email protected]

By Lydia AndersonNewlands residents will

get the chance to practise disaster readiness this Sat-urday in its fi rst community disaster simulation exercise.

The Newlands Civil Re-silience Group is partnering up with Nga Hau e Wha o Papararangi to run the ex-ercise, giving residents the skills to get through in the event of a local or regional emergency.

The marae will be set up like a welfare centre, with desks staffed by volunteers in charge of basic needs such as accommodation,

animal welfare, clothing,

fi rst aid, and social ser-vices. Residents can choose to offer their skills as a volunteer or play the role of a 'victim' affected by the 'disaster'.

Newlands CRG project manager Fiona Bain will take the role of centre super-

visor, overseeing the event.“Our job is to make sure

our residents are ready.“This is about Newlands

owning it and looking after themselves.

“As far as we're concerned it's the real thing and we'll treat people coming in like it's the real thing.”

Volunteers and victims can arrive together, and will be seperated into respective roles.

May 11, 9.30a m to 12.30pm, Papararangi Marae, 30 Ladbrooke Drive. The exercise will be followed by lunch.

By Lydia AndersonInner city hotel staff are

going the extra mile for deaf customers by taking sign language lessons – a fi rst for hotels across New Zealand.

CQ Hotels assistant manager for front office Laura Mortlock, from Johnsonville, is one of 16 supervisors participating in a six-week course run by Deaf Aotearoa.

Laura says the course is extremely useful for her work at hotel reception.

“It'll make my job a lot easier.

“I don't expect to be com-pletely fantastic, but people will respond to the fact that at least you're trying.”

As part of the course, staff are shown a range of communication strategies and basic sign language for greeting guests, check-in, time concepts, and food and drink.

Deaf Aotearoa communi-ty relations offi cer Shannon Krogmann says she thinks CQ Hotels' initiative is “a brilliant idea”.

She says it encourages a

variety of hotels to make their businesses more wel-coming, as well as mak-ing deaf people proud that hearing people are using sign language in customer service.

She suggests staff who do not know sign language should use gestures or write simple, brief notes to communicate with deaf customers.

As part of New Zealand Sign Language Week from May 13 – 19, Deaf Aotearoa runs 45-minute sign language taster classes for businesses and schools.

For more information go to:www.deaf.co.nz/nz-sign-language

100’S OFGIFTS TOGIVE AWAY

By Jacob Chandler, Whitireia journalism

studentVictoria University has

made all of its campuses smokefree this week after consultation with staff and students showing 72 per cent in favour of the ban.

The new regulations mean that smokers will have to go on to public land if they want to smoke.

Large posters and signage have gone up around the campuses and it is expected that Kelburn Parade will become the main smoking area for campus users.

Victoria University Stu-dent William Odey, 20, says:

“It’s probably good, healthy for students.

“They don’t need that sort of money burden. Students are poor enough already.”

Another student Alexis Dykman, 20, says: “I think that it’s a really good idea. I don’t like walking around when people smoke over there.”

Victoria University has a list of resources available to students wanting to quit smoking on their website including information on the Quitline service.

ASH (Action on Smoking and Health) spokesperson Grant Hocking says: “Ex-perience would tell us that

people will quit in response to the policy.”

It is hard to measure the impact of this type of regula-tion on the Quitline phone service, he says. Most peo-ple will go “cold turkey”, which has a success rate of only 5% at 12 months.

Victoria University fol-lows other tertiary educa-tion providers in the region, including University of Otago Wellington (medical school) and Whitireia Com-munity Polytechnic, which are also smokefree.

An ASH tertiary study completed in 2010 found 25% of universities had by then become smokefree.

Winter Decadence

By Andie DunneWhile the weather

outside is frightful, the fashion is so delight-ful!

And what will be your favourite new trend this winter?

If you are looking for pure decadence, you will see luxe fabrics everywhere … velvet in rich colours and prints, fur, chiffon, lace, suede, metallic threads, leatherette and ornate baroque detailing with lashings of gold and silver.

We’re saying our farewells to pastels and a big hello to black and white monochrome, you can rock this look with tweed, hounds-tooth, paisley, plaid, polka dots, checks, graphics and colour blocks, wear the look on your shoes, coats, dresses, hats, hand-bags and more. You

can go all out with tartan in strong col-ours such as red, blue, maroon and green.

If you’re still scratch-ing your head thinking it’s not for you, check the runways where all creatures great and small paw their way up in everything im-aginable from skirts to hats and big sweat-ers with just a centred animal graphic print.

Jumpers and sweat-ers have also made a big come back in stripes, polka dots, and with metallic threads through them.

Haute casual is basi-cally the nickname for promoting casual weekend wear cre-ated in plush fabrics and styling it up, not down. They have tak-en away the weekend only tag. Big labels like Givenchy, Kate Sylvester and Chloe

are creating these pieces.

Don’t be mis-taken, this casual look must be worn with faultless hair and makeup.

Coats styles with military detailing and heritage fabrics look fabulous or look out for a coat in your favourite hue, you will be spoilt for choice.

Your feet will look stylish in mid heels or boots with

interesting ankle straps or ties, cut out s , buck le s , colour blocks and silver/gold capped toes.

Top it all off with some earlobe or neckline glitz - pearls, black onyx, ruby and crystals. Keep warm and enjoy a winter of decadence.Above: Andie Dunne Wellington- based Wardrobe Stylist.

North Wellington AFC take on Waterside Karori AFC this Saturday as the fi rst round of the Chatham Cup kicks off for 2013.

This is the 90th year of the nationwide football competition, which sees 132 teams from

around New Zealand square off in regional knockout rounds before an open national draw at quarterfi nal stage.

North Wellington are in sixth place in the Capital One league, after fi ve games of the 18-game

league season with a record of 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses.

Waterside Karori, in the higher-ranked Central League, are in secnd place after five games, and are four times winner of the Chatham Cup (between 1938-

1947). This is the sixth meeting be-

tween the two clubs in the Chatham Cup, with Waterside Karori prevailing on four oc-casions and North Wellington’s sole success in the 1997 sea-

son occurring enroute to their quarter-fi nal appearance - the best effort for the club since its initial entry into the Chatham Cup as North Wellington AFC in 1972. Kick o� : Saturday May 11 at Ka-

Chatham Cup gets underway

A Marist St Patricks lock managed to break a leg at the game on Saturday at Helston Park against the Johnsonville Cripples.

The game paused at an 18 to 13 score, just after Marist

took the try. The game was expected to go on, but a delayed ambulance meant the game was held off.

The teams are hoping to pick up the game later in the season.
